Opening the reader…
어느 날 아침, 작은 토끼 한 마리가 둑에 앉아 있었다.
One morning a little rabbit sat on a bank.
그 토끼는 귀를 쫑긋 세우고 조랑말의 따각따각, 따각따각 소리에 귀를 기울였다.
He pricked his ears and listened to the trit-trot, trit-trot of a pony.
마차 한 대가 길을 따라 오고 있었다. 맥그리거 씨가 마차를 몰고 있었고, 곁에는 제일 아끼는 모자를 쓴 맥그리거 부인이 앉아 있었다.
A gig was coming along the road; it was driven by Mr. McGregor, and beside him sat Mrs. McGregor in her best bonnet.
그들이 지나가자마자, 어린 벤저민 버니는 길로 미끄러져 내려와 깡충깡충 뛰며 친척들을 만나러 떠났다. 친척들은 맥그리거 씨네 정원 뒤편 숲에 살고 있었다.
As soon as they had passed, little Benjamin Bunny slid down into the road, and set off—with a hop, skip, and a jump—to call upon his relations, who lived in the wood at the back of Mr. McGregor’s garden.
그 숲은 토끼 굴로 가득했다. 가장 깔끔하고 모래가 고운 굴에 벤저민의 고모와 사촌들인 플롭시, 몹시, 코튼테일, 피터가 살았다.
That wood was full of rabbit holes; and in the neatest, sandiest hole of all lived Benjamin’s aunt and his cousins—Flopsy, Mopsy, Cotton-tail, and Peter.
나이 든 래빗 부인은 남편을 여읜 뒤 토끼 털로 벙어리장갑과 손목 토시를 떠서 생계를 꾸렸다(나도 바자회에서 한 켤레 산 적이 있다). 부인은 약초와 로즈메리 차, 그리고 토끼 담배(우리가 라벤더라고 부르는 풀이다)도 팔았다.
Old Mrs. Rabbit was a widow; she earned her living by knitting rabbit-wool mittens and muffatees (I once bought a pair at a bazaar). She also sold herbs, and rosemary tea, and rabbit-tobacco (which is what we call lavender).
어린 벤저민은 고모를 별로 만나고 싶지 않았다.
Little Benjamin did not very much want to see his Aunt.
벤저민은 전나무 뒤쪽으로 돌아가다가 사촌 피터의 머리 위로 하마터면 넘어질 뻔했다.
He came round the back of the fir-tree, and nearly tumbled upon the top of his Cousin Peter.
피터는 혼자 앉아 있었다. 안색이 안 좋아 보였고 붉은 면 손수건을 두르고 있었다.
Peter was sitting by himself. He looked poorly, and was dressed in a red cotton pocket-handkerchief.
“피터,” 어린 벤저민이 속삭였다. “네 옷은 누가 가져갔어?”
“Peter,” said little Benjamin, in a whisper, “who has got your clothes?”
“맥그리거 씨네 정원에 있는 허수아비야.” 피터가 대답했다. 그러고는 정원에서 쫓기다가 신발과 외투를 떨어뜨린 이야기를 해 주었다.
Peter replied, “The scarecrow in Mr. McGregor’s garden,” and described how he had been chased about the garden, and had dropped his shoes and coat.
어린 벤저민은 사촌 곁에 앉아서 맥그리거 씨와 부인이 마차를 타고 나갔다고 안심시켰다. 부인이 제일 아끼는 모자를 썼으니 오늘은 종일 밖에 있을 게 분명하다고 했다.
Little Benjamin sat down beside his cousin and assured him that Mr. McGregor had gone out in a gig, and Mrs. McGregor also; and certainly for the day, because she was wearing her best bonnet.
피터는 비가 오면 좋겠다고 말했다.
Peter said he hoped that it would rain.
그때 토끼 굴 안에서 나이 든 래빗 부인의 목소리가 들렸다. “코튼테일! 코튼테일! 캐모마일 좀 더 가져오렴!”
At this point old Mrs. Rabbit’s voice was heard inside the rabbit hole, calling: “Cotton-tail! Cotton-tail! fetch some more camomile!”
